What’s on tap for today? American sweetheart Gabby Douglas is back in the spotlight in the women’s uneven bars final and pre-London celebrity Lolo Jones finally hits the track looking for redemption in the 100-meter hurdles. The U.S. women’s soccer team takes on Canada with a spot in the gold medal match on the line and U.S. men’s water polo faces Hungary in a rematch of the gold medal match from Beijing. And that’s just a sampling.

There are 20 gold medals up for grabs in eight sports today. Check out our viewer’s guide below to figure out what to watch and when.

Going for gold

Here is a list of the sports that will hand out medals Sunday, along with their respective times and channels on NBC’s coverage platforms. For a full look at today’s TV schedule, check our listings):

Shooting – men’s 50-meter rifle 3 positions, men’s trap (4/8:45 a.m., streaming): No American man has won gold in the 50-meter 3 position rifle since Lanny Bassham at the 1976 Montreal Games. Matt Emmons and Jason Parker look to end that streak on Monday. David Kostelecky of the Czech Republic will attempt to defend his gold medal in trap.

Equestrian – team jumping (9 a.m.): The U.S. team of McLain Ward, Beezie Madden, Reed Kessler and Rich Fellers jump second in the competition. Ward and Madden helped the Americans win gold in Athens and Beijing and will be going for the three-peat.

Cycling – men’s sprint (12:43 p.m.): After helping Britain win team sprint gold in world record time, Jason Kenny will race for an individual medal. He’ll face Trinidad and Tobago’s Njisane Nicholas Phillip in the first heat. France’s Gregory Bauge and Australian Shane Perkins go head-to-head in the second semifinal.

Wrestling – Men’s Greco-Roman 60 kg, 84 kg, 120 kg (1:46 p.m., MSNBC): Adam Wheeler won the U.S. Greco-Roman medal in Beijing in the 96 kg weight class. And while that event doesn’t get underway until Tuesday, Americans Ellis Coleman (60 kg), Chas Betts (84 kg) and Dremiel Byers (120 kg) will try to get the U.S. on the podium today.

Track & field (all streaming):

women’s pole vault (2 p.m.):Jennifer Suhr, who owns the three best jumps in the world over the last two years, will try to turn her silver from Beijing into gold in London. Fellow American Becky Holliday and two-time defending champion Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia are also in the field.

men’s 400-meter final (4:30 p.m.): Grenada’s James Kirani will be challenged by Trinidad’s Lalonde Gordon, who had the fastest time in the semifinals.

Weightlifting – men’s 105 kg (2 p.m., streaming): With the defending gold medalist not in the field, Russia’s Dmitriy Klokov will look to improve on his silver medal in Beijing and take the next step up the podium.

Best of the rest

Women’s soccer semifinals – USA vs. Canada (2:45 p.m., NBC Sports): The U.S. is eyeing a potential rematch last summer’s World Cup final against Japan, but they’ll have to get past Canada first. Since conceding a pair of early goals in their tournament opener against France, the Americans have not allowed another while scoring 10 of their own. Canada beat Britain 2-0 in its quarterfinal but will be an overwhelming underdog against the U.S. — which might explain its coach’s attempts to sway the referees ahead of the match.

Men’s water polo – USA vs. Hungary (10:30 a.m., NBC): It’s a rematch of the 2008 Beijing gold medal game, and one the Hungarians need to win to improve their seeding for the knockout stages. The U.S. team suffered its first defeat with a lackluster showing Saturday against Serbia and are currently second in Group B. At 2-2 overall, Hungary is fourth in the group but consecutive wins secured their spot in the knockout stages.

Men’s basketball – USA vs. Argentina (5:15 p.m., NBC Sports): Fresh off a their nail-biter against Lithuania, the Americans get their toughest test yet in their final Group A game against Manu Ginobili, Luis Scola and Argentina. After their scoring explosion against Nigeria, was Lithuania the wake-up call Kevin Durant, LeBron James and company needed heading into the knockout rounds?

Beach volleyball – USA vs. Latvia (2 p.m., NBC):Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal are not the American duo many expect to go for gold, but they’re the last team left. If they can get past Latvia’s Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins, they’ll likely see top-seeded Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego of Brazil in Wednesday’s semifinals.

Men’s volleyball – USA vs. Tunisia (3 p.m., NBC): The Americans coughed up a two-set lead and suffered a devastating loss to Russia on Saturday, but winless Tunisia provides a prime opportunity for them to get their mojo back just in time for the quarterfinals.
